I don't think cryongenics or other means of lore specific revive system would be called convoluted. I feel a simple save load & quick save system would be boring and
not "next generation".

And still don't forget the online K/S exploits in GTA:O with the beach and 50 ganking disasters. I really hope they got lore specific systems running for story mode & online. Respawn is just lazy design if you ask me :p

I mean many other rogue-lites got very cool revive mechanic with no loading or save scumming.
I just feel save scumming before a very hard endboss of souls-like calibre is like exploit or makes the difficulty plain boring?

Just my 2 cents :p
I think balancing difficulty and that includes revive / save points is a big point in RPG or harder games.
